Chapter 381 Ch 381: Overbearing Guards
Obtaining the Saint Spirit Fruit was not easy, for it was in the hands of a force located in the Central Region.
This force was called the Divine Moarch Sect. The strongest person in the Divine Monarch Sect was on the verge of becoming a Master of Chaos.
However, Ling Xiaolong was not worried. He still had confidence in his ability to trade and if necessary, use force. With the help of his personal Chaos, Ling Xiaolong believed that he could at least face a peak Celestial Sovereign of Chaos.
Ling Xiaolong told everyone not to worry. This Land was completely new to him so he didn't know how to go to the Central Region. He asked the Sect Leader for this.
Under the sect leader's arrangement, Ling Xiaolong left the Solar Phoenix Sect with Feng Hanli and Lu Tianming.
Very soon, they arrived in a huge city at the border of the Outer and Inner Region. This city was called Region Crossing City.
It's worth noting that such a city does exist at the border of the Outer and Inner Region, as well as at the border of the Inner and Central Region.
The city was named Region Crossing because of two huge teleportation formations. These two teleportation formations can teleport to two of the three regions.
For example, the two teleportation formations located in the Region Crossing City located at the border of the Outer and Inner Region could teleport people directly to the Inner Region and Central Region.
Everyone arrived in this city and went straight for this teleportation formation. After paying enough Luminous Essence Crystals, everyone was allowed to enter the formation.
In this huge teleportation formation, besides Ling Xiaolong and his group, there were also some other powerful warriors.
Some were warriors preparing to travel to the Inner and Central Region from the Outer Region, while some were experts from the Inner and Central Region who were returned to their homes.
The teleportation formation opened, and a magnificent pillar of light shot into the sky. Everyone disappeared into the teleportation formation.
.....
_Central Region, Heavenly Star City_
Heavenly Star City is a city located not far from the border of the Central Region in the Land of Luminous Essence.
Just like Region Crossing City, Heavenly Star City also had a teleportation formation.
At this moment, the teleportation formation in Heavenly Star City released a luxurious beam of light, and many experts appeared.
"Tsk tsk. People are coming from the Outer Region again."
"Haha, now we'll have more money to spend."
"That's why we brothers are trying our best to bribe the butler of City Lord's Mansion to become the guardian of the teleportation formation."
There was a group of guards wearing silver armor in front of the teleportation formation of Heavenly Star City. Although there weren't many of them, all of them were elites. The weakest among them was a Fifth Stage Celestial Awakening Realm warrior, and the strongest amongst them had already reached the Peak of Celestial Awakening Realm.
Of course, they were just mere guards.
From this alone, it could be seen that the standard of Heavenly Star City was vastly different and higher than the Outer Region.
In the Central Region, only by becoming a Celestial Sovereign of Chaos could one be considered a powerhouse worthy of being feared.
Celestial Awakening Realm warriors, on the other hand, were much weaker because there were simply too many of them in the Central Region.
"Everyone, don't be careless. Even in the Outer Region, there are still powerhouses that should not be offended. We better stay within our limit and act accordingly." Within the silver-armored guards, a young man reminded.
This young man was extremely handsome. His lips were on the red side and his teeth were white. He had the potential to be a perfect gigolo.
Unfortunately, this young man's reminder did not attract any attention. Instead, it attracted quite a bit of ridicule.
"Kid, as expected of a newbie. You think too highly of those rookies from the Outer Region. Those warriors from the Outer Region are all extremely weak and there aren't many Celestial Awakening Realm warriors. Even if there are, they are still very ordinary. Their combat strength is very low among those of the same level. They are simply not a match for elites like us."
The young man's expression became awkward, and in the end, he didn't say anything.
It was also at this moment that the huge light pillar on the huge teleportation formation of Heavenly Star City gradually dissipated. Ling Xiaolong and the others, as well as the rest of the warriors, appeared in front of these silver-armored guards.
The leader of the guards was a Peak Celestial Awakening Realm warrior. A hint of ridicule and greed flashed across his eyes as he saw Ling Xiaolong and others appearing.
In the next moment, the leader of the guards leaped up and stood in the air. He shouted at the people in the teleportation formation, "This should be your first time coming to the Central Region. I'm sorry but it seems like you don't know the unspoken rule of the first time coming to the Central Region. Leave all the valuable treasures on you and you can leave."
Instantly, the experts within the teleportation formation burst into an uproar.
Of course, some of these experts had calm expressions as they swept their gazes toward the others with arrogance and contempt.
After that, these people all jumped into the sky.
"I am Mao Kongming, the direct disciple of Lord Tianming." As he spoke, this man called Mao Kongming even took out his identity card.
The guard leader took it and his face instantly turned into a smile.
"So it's the direct disciple of Lord Tianming. Brother Mao, I won't delay you any longer. Take your time and leave."
Mao Kongming cupped his hands towards the leader of the guards. He glanced at the numerous warriors who were still in the teleportation formation with a hint of pride before he left.
After that, one after another, the disciples of the Central Region left safely. The silver-armored guards didn't exploit them at all.
Even though some of the powers weren't considered strong in the Central Region, and some of the warriors didn't have high strength, the silver-armored guards didn't make things difficult for them.
The guard leader clearly knew that blackmailing the Outer Region wouldn't be a problem, because the warriors that came from the Outer Region didn't have any backers. However, extorting the warriors from the Central Region was a violation of the rule.
Even if these warriors were not powerful and the forces behind them were not strong, once they were extorted, then it was very likely that these forces, which weren't considered strong, would join forces to cause trouble in Heavenly Star City.
In that case, the leader of the guards knew that he would most likely be handed over to appease the public's anger.
Heavenly Star City was considered a relatively large force in the Central Region, but that was all. It didn't have the qualifications to ignore the alliance of some forces.
.....
After the warriors of the Central Region left, the guard leader's expression immediately changed. He looked at the remaining people and snorted coldly, "You people, quickly hand over the valuable treasures in your hands. Don't let us take action. Otherwise, the consequences won't be bearable to you."
"Why?"
"That's right. You are just a guard guarding the teleportation formation. What's there to be arrogant about?"
"Don't tell me that the warriors in the Central Region are all so overbearing?"
Everyone was instantly unhappy. They had come to the Central Region to seek more resources so that they could grow stronger, they didn't come here to be extorted.
The leader of the guards grinned hideously: "I can extort you just because my fist is bigger than yours. You have no choice!"
"Boom!"
The aura of the leader of the guards suddenly bloomed. Then, the leader of the guards appeared in front of an early-stage Celestial Awakening Realm warrior like a bolt of lightning and threw a punch at him.
The warrior who was attacked changed his expression in shock. He wanted to dodge, but there was no way he could.
Immediately, the guard leader's fist pierced through that warrior's abdomen, causing that warrior to vomit out a mouthful of blood. But the guard didn't stop. He kicked a few more times, and in the end, that warrior fainted from pain and injuries.
The leader of the guards threw the unconscious warrior to the side and started laughing coldly. He then spoke, "If you don't want to end up like him, just obediently hand over all the treasures on your body."
When the people who were still protesting saw that even a dignified Celestial Awakening Realm warrior had fallen to such a state, all of them immediately shuddered. Their gazes toward the leader of the guards were filled with hatred and fear.
Nevertheless, they could do nothing. They might be high and mighty experts in the Outer Regio
However, in the Central Region, they could be killed by a mere guard in an instant. Here, they were nothing.
